Meerman OO

Meerman OO is a domestic non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, with an active registration valid through September 4, 2025. As a shelter-focused entity, the organization appears to specialize in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and supporting civil society initiatives in Central Asian regions, particularly in Kyrgyzstan. The organization has demonstrated a commitment to developing preventative measures and building partnerships to combat social challenges related to gender-based violence and community resilience.

Through federal grant awards from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, Meerman OO has consistently engaged in targeted projects addressing gender-based violence prevention and community capacity building. The organization has received two notable prime federal grant awards, including a recent grant (SKG10024GR0033) focused on strengthening government and civil society capacity to address GBV through preventative measures, awarded in September 2024 with completion expected in February 2025. Additionally, Meerman OO has participated in sub-grant awards with partners like Family Health International, specifically working on regional initiatives such as "Building Partnership to Stop Violence in Issyk-Kul Region" in May 2022. These grants demonstrate the organization's specialized approach to creating safer community environments, promoting gender equality, and developing strategic interventions to reduce violence through collaborative partnerships with governmental and non-governmental entities.
